FSU Concert Band - Godzilla Eats Las Vegas - Part 1 of 2

[MrBidwin]

We all want to have fun and also save money but there are ways that few people know about. Take a look at the video I found about how to buy online and get a massive discount.

AWESOME

[CharlieBladeRemus]

I LMAO'd at the scared monkey XD

[CharlieBladeRemus]

And what makes the sound of the dog barking? Is it a person, or a clarinet?

[622jtr]

@CharlieBladeRemus its actually a person barking

[CharlieBladeRemus]

I have a question, do they use an actual shakuhachi flute at that one part? Because I can't see any flutes playing...

[amh06e]

@CharlieBladeRemus It was just a piccolo.

We just did this piece tonight for my high school wind ensemble! Only instead of a slide show, we made a movie. It was a lot more challenging because we had to time everything perfectly as there was no stopping. But very well put together!

[FloydMusicRocks]

@Johnhodge93 Yeah, I'm in that band!

[gphotify]

I was totally in that band!! No kidding!! :)

[sprucehful]

My high school is doing this for their spring concert. Me and my friend made a slideshow like this for it. So fun!

[xoshimmy26]

I played this in HS Symphony band. SO FUN

[scifidrummergeek]

Sightread this today. I am so freaking exited to play this at our next band concert. And I get the scream solo!

[BOLAification1]

We were supposed to play Blue shades, but this is so much better

[PYROMATT0]

blue springs south jaguars will b playing this song at festival in a few weeks, wish us luck!

[poopr1221]

The slideshow made it so much more fun to listen to. Seriously. I would've loved to have attended.

[itaitubense]

Who are the conductor?

[JuilliardOrBust]

By FSU I hope you mean Florida State, my favorite in state college.

[enceladus17]

my band director is the guy who stands up and screams godzilla

[WhyIdontcare567]

Pluralism at it's best! Fantastic job by all involved.

[UghIsMyUsername]

haha this is pretty epic xD

[TheSoulification]

We're sight reading this tomorrow in my HS Symphonic band. Can't wait!

[FBedgeDRUMER]

When i played this at my high school, i played the bass drum. It was the best percussion part written and i played it like a BOSS! my bass drum attacks we 20 times louder than this recording :)

[zackerz9311]

i just say the navy concert band play this on friday. amazing

[KagomeHigurashi211]

I love the enthusiasm with the screams, it's a nice touch. We're playing this in my community concert band soon, my instructor hasn't passed out the music yet, but we're eager to start playing! (I particularly enjoyed the Frank Sinatra part, LOL.)

[unepommeverte17]

we played this when i was a freshman at benicia hs, and we (the colorguard) actually acted out the stuff. live. and we couldn't find a scary dino costume or anything so we had this barney-type happy dinosaur running around...it was great lol

[fuckmuffins123]

we played this for my senior year at Green Bay East High School and it was epic. We threw a ton of confetti at the celebration scene. Children in the crowd were screaming and crying because we had one french horn player playing Godzilla and she was good

[snmnet]

the mambo section at 3:54... brilliant

[isthisagoodname000]

hahaha!!!  3:30...GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!! rofl

[euph4ever]

THIS SONG IS AWSOME!!!

[SparrowFreak]

That slide show is REALLY funny! You all play this song incredibly well! I APPLAUDE YOU!

[StereoIsTheSkyline]

Sorry, but at 3:34, that is ridiculously stupid; the guy could have put more enthusiasm in it.

My high school's concert band and wind ensemble played this song together; we had a slide show, we had a godzilla head popping up from the side of our jazz band stage, we actually made it seem like we were actually there, witnessing this whole thing.

[Bassooner0rLater]

@StereoIsTheSkyline Well I think if he put anymore into it, if he even could, his clarinet would fly out of his hand...

[ironman088]

I closed off my time in band playing this song in my final concert. from 4th grade to 12th grade, the only song that matched playing this was Pilatus Mountain of Dragons. SOOO much fun, we owned it.

[ElectronicFerret]

oh god who MADE that slideshow

[DancingSpacePotato]

We learned this in an hour to play tonight O.o

[daBeast7432]

i have to dress up like elvis and fight godzilla and i have no clue what to do haha

[aschticleofflouride]

awesome job, were playing this at ualbany for our spring concert

[DMRCapitalHill]

EPIC

[tamachan0004]

zomggg that was great :D, we did this one, but we had no slideshow soo we had the audience imagine it all... it was great :D

[snes90]

Wow, it's amazing how many of us are playing this for band! But then again, who else would be looking up this song? XP

Our Wind Ensemble is going to be playing this our Spring Concert; I'm playing 2nd Trumpet. 1st Trumpet definitely has the cooler (and more difficult) parts!

[MasochistPanda]

We're playing this this year in Symphonic Band!

[SuperMG21]

we heard this in band...it sounds good..:P

[Eregwen]

Hoo... I'm playing trumpet on this for our winter concert. Fun as hell, but tough.

[leonelcuellar]

i saw this today at smu..it was so awesome

[jik201]

i was there i win!

[sactoindyfan]

I was in the Northern California Community College Honor Band in 1997. We were the second group to ever perform it after the UNLV Wind Symphony. Tom Leslie, who is UNLV's Director of Bands, was our conductor and brought this piece. Needless to say, I've played Hindemith, Vaughan Williams, Schwanter....this is still my favorite concert piece of all time!! Bravo FSU Concert Band!

[biscuitninja]

This really tough music... fun, but tough.

[TheBovineLord]

[disneyfan715]

[saxyjt123]

[kageassassin]

I thought this was awesome. My band is supposed to be playing it this week. <3

[RyaZila24]

[drumgirl187]

[ZeusAssassin]

Morse code implemented in music. EPIC WIN. This piece of music rules, the symphonic at my school is playing this.

[darthnikk]

Nice, Plackster, very nice!
